Israel has admitted there is a “high possibility” its own forces killed an Al Jazeera journalist

Al Jazeera journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh was gunned down while reporting in West Bank in May

Her death sparked worldwide outrage, including an investigation by the United Nations.

Israel’s Defence Force (IDF) says there is a “highly probability” one of its own forces mistakenly killed the veteran journalist.

However, the IDF is not launching a criminal investigation into her death, and says no-one will be punished for the incident.

Its forces maintain they were under fire from Palestinian fighters at the scene. But eyewitnesses have found Israel was ultimately to blame for her death.

“Al Jazeera condemns the Israeli Occupation Forces’ reluctance to explicitly admit their crime and attempts to evade the prosecution of the perpetrators.”

The IDF said it has finalised several investigations, but Abu Akleh’s family say they are “not surprised” by the lack of responsibility.

Meanwhile, her former employer Al Jazeera has referred the case to the International Criminal Court.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
